By now, everyone has heard that Paul Arnold was shot with a .270 rifle in the hip while hunting last Thursday. I haven’t been able to talk with Paul, but he did text me from his hospital bed and said “it was a bit dark and the shot was from about 20 yards away”. Tomorrow he will have his 4th surgery on his shattered hip. In his text, he also mentioned “I’m a very lucky fucker but I am broken with a long road ahead of me”. I’ll keep everyone posted on this matter whenever I hear something new. Get well brother \m/

Holy Shit! I can’t believe it. 21 years later and the new CD hits the streets hauling fucking ass!! We are very proud and excited about this album. When we decided to do another album you could imagine the things that went through our minds on this, but we knew if we stuck to our guns on using the tried and true formula that makes At War, then there could be no other outcome than the right one. This album proves that!

Every review thus far has been very positive and encouraging to say the least. Not that pleasing others was our goal, but we also knew that if we liked it, than a hell of alot of you would too. I want to take a second and thank once again Mr. Alex Perialas for being so fucking awesome! You believed and you were right!

On another topic… those of you who know us personally , know what kind of people we are. Those who look at our album covers and think you know who we are should take a moment and make an attempt to get to know us before you claim to know our motivations. If you don’t care to make the effort, then go ahead and say what you will and do us a favor and fuck the hell off!! To the rest of you who do get it…. Thanks for your support! We are digging it!!

We will be back in Brooklyn, NY on Sept 18th with Whiplash and Deathrash! This will be our NY CD release show, so come on out and show some love! We will be in Fredericksburg, VA on Sept. 19th at KC’s. For the locals who keep asking me when we’re doing our local CD release show. I should have an announcment with in a few weeks. We have an awesome new manager who is working hard to help coordinate shows in the USA and Europe, so be ready we’re coming!!

Just wanted to stop and let you all know that the mastering is complete, approved and delivered to Heavy Artillery Records. Nothing left to do, but wait. Dan Bacigalupi at Georgetown mastering did an insanely awesome job mastering this work of art as you all will soon hear. I thank again everyone involved with this project.

Look for us in the coming months to be playing select shows in select cities, we want to bring this new material to your faces!! If you’re gonna be in the southeast Virginia area, make sure you bring your little asses to see the show we’ll be doing on May 18 with Exodus, Warbringer, Day of the Beast and Scarz Within! Much More Most Maximum Metal!!!

We have just completed recording the new cd “INFIDEL” at Pyramid Sound with the great Alex Perialas. I have to tell you this Album will blow your fucking heads off!! Don’t take my word for it, or better yet just remember I said this when you finally insert this into your choice of playback device and say to yourself “Holy Fuck” Paul was even more than right. There is no way we could have made this most important CD any better! It is amazing. I can’t wait for each and every one of you to hear it.

Working with Alex again has been a dream come true for us and there is NO ONE I mean NO ONE who does it better! I stand in awe of his expertise in the studio. If you are ever lucky enough to work with him you will know this to be the gospel. 9 tracks of the most powerful metal that has been released in years!! There will be support shows for this album so make sure you come out and witness the awesomeness! We’re looking at a release date now in the early summer.

What happened yesterday can ONLY happen in the good ole USA. As much of a fan of Barack I am not, it is historic and amazing. It also shows the people in the rest of the world that had said America has become insignifigant and that it had run it’s course that the USA is an ever changing and dynamic force that will never be counted out. I defy the haters to show me any other country in the world that is this bad-ass! Let’s only hope that the next four years don’t turn this great nation into the U.S.S.R (United States Socialist Republic). To the Europeans who see the president elect as the second coming, know this.. he will not be able to get anything done and him and the democrats will blame there inability to make good on their promises to save the world on Bush.. Why? because that’s what they do.. make excuses. I hope they prove me wrong. I’m OK, I still have my guns… suck it! Now.. so much for the politics…

On to At War news!: We have completed the writing process and are now working on pre-production for the new CD “Infidel” for Heavy Artillery Records. It is absolutely awesome! The wait will be worth it for sure. Recording will start in December and we expect a March release. The CD artwork is being done by artist Claudio Bergman and man it is incredible!! Tell everyone to keep checking back for more updates and info. 2009 will be all At War’s!!

Please give a monumental horns up to my Dad Joseph Davis Arnold III who left this world today. You are missed!
